Week 6 EOC: Travel and Tourism

Fall is a better time than winter for senior citizens to travel because the climate is better, gambling, and for thee country performers. According to the textbook "Many senior citizen groups from surrounding states take charter bus tours to see their favorite country music performers and enjoy gambling provided by local casinos. Outlet malls located near Branson are an additional attraction for tourists." Branson hotels and restaurants should consider offering senior citizen discounts because during the fall more seniors come to visit for the special events and nice weather. According to the textbook "Most tourists stay an average of two nights in the local hotels."Market research I would conduct is how many seniors come with their families and spend time with their families. I would also conduct how long they stay. According to the text book, "Most tourists stay an average of two nights in the local hotels." Family reunion packages Branson could advertise to increase the number of tourists are discounted food and little games, activities, and raffles with prizes for families. Other ways of bringing in tourist would be family things to do. Like have a movie night. Seniors enjoy spending time with their family. The outlet mall near the event should also have sales if possible.
